Enigmatec Announces $12.5 Million in Series C Funding



    Enigmatec Corporation Limited, the award-winning leader in
    enterprise IT Process Automation ("Run Book Automation" or RBA)
    solutions, today announced it has attracted $12.5 million (GBP 6.25
    million) in series 'C' financing. The latest funding round included
    current investors Amadeus Capital Partners and Pentech Ventures, with
    additional participation from Herald Ventures and Kevin Lomax,
    formerly the executive Chairman of Misys, who also joins Enigmatec's
    board of directors as Executive Chairman. Enigmatec will use the funds
    to continue expansion of its global sales force and to build out the
    capabilities of its IT process automation software products and
    solutions. The additional funding brings the total raised by Enigmatec
    to $30 million.

    "We are excited to be a part of this exciting phase in Enigmatec's
    growth," said Taymour Ezzat of Herald Ventures. "The demand for
    automation solutions to reduce the cost and complexity of managing
    large enterprise IT environments is exploding. Enigmatec's powerful
    technology platform, enterprise-class scalability and performance, and
    international presence have positioned them as a leader in this
    rapidly expanding market. We are committed to Enigmatec's vision of
    delivering the automation solutions that will power the next
    generation data centre."

    "Automating IT management processes is a key objective for IT
    executives focused on driving down the costs and reducing the
    complexity of IT operations," said David Williams, Research VP at
    Gartner. "Many tools provide aspects of IT operations automation;
    however, only RBA tools provide the ability to mix both automation and
    manual process steps, orchestrate IT operations process, provide
    process templates and integrate with a wide range of IT operations
    tools in support of the process."(1)

    Enigmatec's flagship automation platform, the Execution Management
    System(TM) (EMS(TM)), allows IT operators to automate, orchestrate,
    and integrate the multitude of processes and tools they use today to
    configure, support and allocate IT resources. Today's IT environments
    are changing rapidly, with new demands brought on by space and power
    concerns, the rapid uptake of virtualization technologies, and
    ever-increasing demands for higher service levels. With Enigmatec's
    solutions, IT operations teams can eliminate the manual, error-prone
    IT management processes of the past, and benefit from automated
    procedures for IT resource management. Enigmatec's global enterprise
    customers have deployed EMS to solve many IT challenges, including
    virtual environment management, user/desktop automation, change and
    configuration process automation, and high availability / disaster
    recovery.

    "Enigmatec has a unique technology architecture, a strong focus on
    enterprise-class solutions, and a proven record of delivering command
    and control to the enterprise data centre," said Kevin Lomax, who
    brings to the company over 20 years of expertise. Mr Lomax was a
    founding investor and led the growth of Misys into one of the world's
    largest and longest established software companies. Misys is a leading
    international supplier of banking, treasury, capital markets and
    healthcare technology. "The market opportunity for run book automation
    is growing rapidly, and Enigmatec is positioned to be the leader in
    this exciting new technology field. I am pleased to be joining the
    team at Enigmatec."
